Basics of Supercomputing
SESSION: Basics of Supercomputing
EVENT TYPE: Tutorials
TIME: 1:30PM - 5:00PM
Presenter(s):Thomas Sterling, Steven Brandt
ROOM:255-E
ABSTRACT:
This is \emph{the} crash course on supercomputers for everyone who knows almost
nothing but wants to come up to speed fast. All the major topics are described
and put into a meaningful framework. All of the terms both technical and
community-related are presented and discussed in a practical, easy to grasp way.
This half-day tutorial requires no prior knowledge or prerequisites other than a
need to gain a quantum leap in understanding. The technical foundations will be
provided in all the basics including supercomputer architecture and systems,
parallel programming approaches and methods, tools for usage and debugging, and
classes of applications. But also presented will be the basic HPC lexicon, the
players in the community, the products leading the way, and whats likely to
come next. Either first timers or those needing a timely review will benefit
from this coverage of the field of HPC.
